Pros

- Absolutely none that justify working here - A few talented coworkers, but most eventually leave

Cons

- One of the most toxic work environments I've ever experienced - Leadership is completely disconnected from reality and has no understanding of the day-to-day challenges employees face - Constant talk about "culture" and "values," but the actual culture is built on fear, favoritism, politics, and blame - Promotions often seem based on who you know rather than what you accomplish - Some managers will wreck employees reputation instead of taking responsibility - Priorities change constantly, creating confusion, wasted effort, and frustration - Recognition is almost nonexistent - Employees are frequently expected to take on additional responsibilities without additional compensation - New hires are often sold a vision during the interview process that bears little resemblance to reality - The company talks about employee well-being while actively creating conditions that lead to stress and disengagement - People spend more time managing internal politics than doing meaningful work

Pros

Great minds and opportunities to be mentored everywhere for the growing professional. Top Market offering and prestige, high product renown as a seller. Privately held and innovative. Top culture in our industry, and direct line to leadership on marquee deals. CEO and founder who is still highly invovled. Supporting leadership cast that are highly engaged.

Cons

Re-orgs have affected team unity but leadership vision is all about culture, transformation and growth.
